Movie director Okiki Afolayan recently sat down for an interview on "Oyin Momo", a Yoruba show where he shared candid and humorous insights into his personal and professional life.

He said:

"People say something that his wife is the one feeding him. I tell them, my wife feeds me. Try and find someone who will feed you. Whoever sees who is feeding him should thank God. This life is not easy. My wife is doing great feeding me."

The director also spoke about the importance of his family, particularly his mother, who he described as his pillar.

However, he jokingly warned that when he's on set, even his mother can't distract him.

"If she comes when I am shooting a film, if she distracts me, I can curse off," he said with a laugh. "At that time, I have gathered wickedness together," he said.

Speaking on his career as a movie director and why his name hasn't been associated with many recent films in the country, he said he focuses more on Yoruba YouTube movies, including Africa Magic.

He added:

"I don't know. Where I know movies to is a niche called arena. I know their films as well as normal Yoruba YouTube movies, including Africa Magic. If it is getting to Netflix, Prime, Cinema movies, that level is above me."
